Get Paid to Eat Chocolate
Want a pleasant way to earn extra income?
You may be a lot like me - goal driven and productive. When the youngest of my five children went away to college, I was ready for my own business but it took me quite a while to find the perfect fit. I wanted to work from my own home office and choose my own hours. Maybe you, too?
I decided to focus upon eBusiness and I've never looked back. Every day, there's something new to learn, something creative to write, and new people to meet. I just returned from a terrific conference in Florida (I usually attend two or three a year) where I met new friends and renewed acquaintance with old friends who also write eCommerce sites. I love it!
However, visitors like you are always my first concern, and I have to make choices about what business opportunities, products, or services I'm comfortable sharing with you.
If you are looking for a business of your own, let me tell you more about healthy gourmet chocolates.
Offers for work at home income are scary, aren't they? You may feel that someone wants to push you into something that isn't in your best interests. I thought so, too, and that's why I'm happy I found a way to do business with a business model I can trust.
Revered economist, Adam Smith, discusses the necessity and benefits of barter...
The truth is that income won't drop into our laps without hard work. Except for the odd trust fund baby, income is based upon these three activities: a service, a product, or a combination of the two.
Let's examine these income-generating activities:
- making a product (Do you manufacture refrigerators?)
- Are you selling a service?(You are a doctor who inserts artificial joints?)
- Or, some combination of the two
Can you manufacture something for mass distribution?
Can you offer a service business?
What kind of income do you want?
The IRS classifies income into three broad categories: active, portfolio, and passive.
The active is like the clerk who is paid $10/hour, whose income stops the second she does.
Portfolio is the income thrown off by investments made, it continues on but is subject to market risk. Sadly, the return on that investment depends upon factors largely beyond your control.
Passive income, however, once set up, requires little or no effort to maintain and is reasonably resilient. This is the kind of income that sharing healthy gourmet chocolates can provide.
Why passive income is so much better than linear income
If you happen to be an employee, or even a self-employed professional your income is limited to the number of hours in the week (i.e., it's capped by having only 24 hours in a day).
No matter how much you make per hour, you are limited. That's the problem with linear income, you can't replicate yourself. If you don't show up, you don't get paid. This is not the business model we want to depend upon.
Geometric income, however, is much, much better. Most of your work occurs "up front," setting your business up according to the network marketing example, and after some time goes by, you reap the benefits continuously.
If you plan on retiring well, you need a backup plan
Retirement is scary because your investments are exposed to risk. At that "drawing down" point, even the most responsible savers are vulnerable to unforeseen market conditions without substantial and continuing residual (or passive) income from sources that don't depend upon the stock market or real estate. Has your home lost value? Has your portfolio taken a nasty hit? Lately, most have.
Even from the pool of retirees who are in the top 1% for income, a full 74% of that 1% were self-employed business people. No one individual can limit your income as a self-employed person.
So the wise seek to replace active income even while earning, keep adding portfolio income without relying exclusively upon it, and look into residual (or passive) income using a good business model as a self-employed person.

Go Back Up
If I were to offer you the choice between a thousand dollars a day for the next full month or a penny today, two pennies the second day, four pennies the third day, eight pennies the fourth day and so on, it's obvious that geometric potential is in your best interests.
Please understand that I am NOT making claims about specific income amounts for my business model, merely illustrating the difference between arithmetic and geometric growth potential.
Let's Recap the Healthy Gourmet Chocolate Model
The Big Question: Where do you find a business model you can live with that brings you passive income?
Answer: Network marketingNow, what if your residual income was also geometric?
Why Chocolate?
- people already love chocolate so you don't have to create the market
- this chocolate is very, very, good for you and others so you can feel good about representing it
- people are buying chocolate anyway so they will only redirecting their purchasing habits to healthy, dark chocolate
- you will have a mentor who really wants to see you succeed (me!).
- you will have access to marketing materials you won't have to develop yourself
- start-up expenses and inventory are minimal
Eating three of these very special, healthy, gourmet chocolates a day is equal to getting 12 servings of fruits and vegetables.

"Eat it because it tastes great & is so good for you; share it and you get paid." Jean K. of ImmaChocoholic
Instead of buying high-sugar, waxy, chocolate candy with cheap fillers, the same dollars go to healthy, gourmet chocolate. Furthermore, the cost of some pricey, hard-to-swallow "horse-pill" supplements can be discontinued because they are already in the chocolate.

On Barter
... and ultimately everyone trades one thing for another because nobody can produce everything.
Someone has to make the metal band at the top, another supplies the eraser, then there's a graphite, and the wood that goes around the graphite, and someone to paint it. We can see that even the lowly pencil is complex.
Go Back Up
The great economist, Adam Smith, noted this in his book, Wealth of Nations (1776), speaks of this division of labor:
"This division of labour, from which so many advantages are derived, is not originally the effect of any human wisdom, which foresees and intends that general opulence to which it gives occasion. It is the necessary, though very slow and gradual consequence of a certain propensity in human nature which has in view no such extensive utility; the propensity to truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another."
...and continues later...
"Nobody ever saw one animal by its gestures and natural cries signify to another, this is mine, that yours; I am willing to give this for that."
Drawbacks of manufacturing
Go Back Up
Me, neither. I don't know about you, but at this point in my life - and I'm a Boomer - it's unlikely that I can invent and figure out how to manufacture a viable product - so that's out for me, and maybe for you? Even if I had an idea for a whiz-bang widget (and I don't), the start up costs of a bricks and sticks manufacturing business is out of the question. And then there would be the complications of employees, marketing, and distribution.
That's the problem with making products, it's very complicated and it's a Young Turk's game (God bless 'em). Ayn Rand, in Atlas Shrugged, wrote an entire book glorifying this elite segment of risk-takers.
Drawbacks of offering your services
Go Back Up
Turning to selling services, the obvious ones are professionals such as doctors, lawyers, architects, accountants, or teachers. If you have a highly paid profession or career, that might be all you want or need. Save, invest, and hope for good luck in this dippy economy and hope to keep it intact after you are on fixed income and drawing it down. And therein lies the risk...
The risk of service business is that one hour equals so many dollars, no more, no less, and there are only 24 hours in a day. This service segment extends to anyone who exchanges his/her time for income: cashiers, clerks, rock stars, celebrities, landscapers - all sell their services.
The 24 hour day is the reality that limits the possibility of income for this model. Age, illness, or injury could take you out of the service equation all together even if you've concientiously saved.
